Happy Birthday, America!
We started our day by going out to breakfast with the Garmire's and Megan. Then we swam with Nadia (my sister) and Rustin. In the evening, we headed over to the Garmire's for a bbq. We ate a lot of delicious food. The kids had fun watching "snakes" grow...
and playing hide and seek.
We also played Guitar Hero!

When it started to get dark, we found a dead end street where we could see the valley and set off some of our own fireworks. This is how Kaitlin and Lucas felt about our fireworks:
They did warm up a bit, but Lucas mostly thought "the fireworks were a bad idea." I hate to say it, but Kate was a little braver than her brother!! :)
Lucas finally held a sparkler as we were getting ready to leave. In this pic, he's trying to hand it back to me. Maybe he'll be more excited next year??
Our spot was great! We had a great view of a casino's firework show, and we were able to see most of what was happening in the valley.
The crew: Wyatt and Megan

We had a wonderful celebration! We are so thankful to live in this country!

We had so much fun! The food was great and the company was great! We'll have to try and do this every year! I'll miss ya at church!
Looks like you had a lot of fun! Too bad Lucas didn't enjoy the fireworks.
Ahhh I so want to be there with you guys! It looks like alot of fun. Too bad about Lucas not liking the fireworks, apparently they are illegal here, you can't even get sparklers. My kids were so diappointed.
How fun! The picture of Lucas and Kaitlin crack me up.
Poor Kate and Luke! Those are some funny pictures, though!
It looks like you had a great 4th...wish we could have been with you!
